Excellent book, well written and quite enjoyable. I learned a lot from this book, and it touched on so many topics and intertwined them with that simple story of that walk to Emmaus. It was quite remarkable. Not a book that I would probably normally pick up but I'm glad I got to chance to read it. I would definitely recommend this book to Christians and anyone interested in history of the time. For such a complex topic it was very easy to read.

Beautifully written and detailed, The Searchers is well worth reading. Dr. Loconte uses personal stories, pop culture references, and historical examples to illustrate the passage from Luke of the road to Emmaus. He explores not only grief and doubt, but the nature of angels, conspiracy v conspiracy theories, and humanity's desire for something beyond, among other things. By taking a few verses of the passage at a time, he uses it as a springboard to explore surrounding themes and illuminate meaning.
I wasn't sure, at first, what sort of book this would be. Cheesy? Elementary? Advice-driven? However, it really was none of those. Instead, I found a refreshing glance at a familiar story for me. Whether completely unaware of the road to Emmaus, or swimming in Bible facts, this books has something to offer. I appreciate both its simplicity and complex weaving of several themes. Overall, enjoyable.
Recommended!

Interesting read - a thinking book.
